Commercial Roofing in Vonore, TN
Commercial Roofing for Tellico West Boat Plants, Industrial Buildings and Vonore Businesses
Commercial Roofing for Vonore and the Tellico West Industrial Area
McGuire Roofing serves Vonore from our Knoxville office, about 45 minutes south by US-321 and US-411. Vonore is a small town on Tellico Lake, mostly in Monroe County, and had 1,574 residents in the 2020 Census.
Vonore is small, but its industrial base is not. The Tellico West industrial properties along the lake hold some of the largest boat building plants in the country, along with glass, vehicle parts, fiber and building products plants, warehouses and distribution buildings.

Lake Humidity Over Large Plant Roofs
Vonore’s plants sit right on Tellico Lake, so humidity and morning fog keep roofs wet longer than in town, which speeds rust on metal panels and fasteners. Storms crossing the open water bring stronger gusts to the edges and corners of wide roofs, and heavy rain can overwhelm drains and gutters on very large roof areas.
Vonore at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Vonore is in Monroe County (with a small part in Blount County) and had 1,574 residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- The Tellico Reservoir Development Agency, based in Vonore, manages Tellico West, whose companies include MasterCraft, Sea Ray, Yamaha, Carlex Glass, Commercial Vehicle Group, JTEKT and Johns Manville.
- Sea Ray opened its Tellico Lake plant in Vonore in 1983, and in 2023 the company said it employed more than 620 people there.
- The agency’s 2024 annual report describes a 110,000-square-foot building completed in Tellico West in 2023 and leased by Yamaha, and a new Industrial Boulevard opening access to a 185-acre industrial tract.
In Vonore the usual fit is PVC where process exhaust reaches the roof, TPO from Johns Manville on warehouses and newer plant additions, retrofit or restoration systems on older metal buildings, and EPDM or modified bitumen on smaller town buildings.
Manufacturing Roofs That Cannot Shut Down
Boat and composite plants run resin, gelcoat and paint operations, and their exhaust can attack some roof membranes, so we review what each stack puts out before recommending a system. Production rarely stops for a roof, so we replace in sections, protect openings over the floor, and coordinate with plant safety teams on access, hot work and crane lifts. For large existing roofs, we survey and moisture-scan each section so owners can plan replacement and repairs over several budget years.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Vonore
Johns Manville is our main commercial manufacturer, including JM PVC, EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen. We are Duro-Last certified, mainly for prefabricated PVC, and GAF commercial certified as a third option. We recommend the system that fits the building, its use and its budget.
TPO
Heat-welded, reflective single-ply membrane for offices, retail and warehouses with large flat roofs.
PVC
PVC membranes, including Duro-Last prefabricated systems, for restaurants and roofs with grease exhaust or heavy rooftop equipment.
EPDM
Durable rubber membrane, installed new or repaired on the many existing EPDM roofs across the region.
Modified Bitumen
Multi-ply asphalt-based roofing for older downtown buildings and roofs with regular foot traffic.
Commercial Metal
R-panel and standing seam metal roofs for warehouses, shops, churches and mixed-use buildings.
Roof Coatings
Restoration coatings that can extend the life of a qualifying roof without a full tear-off.
Commercial Roof Repair, Replacement and Restoration
- Inspections and leak repair – We find the source, repair membrane, flashing, curbs and penetrations, and send photos of the work.
- Replacement – Full tear-off or, where the existing roof and local codes allow, a recover system. We pull the permits the local jurisdiction requires.
- Restoration – Coatings for roofs that are still sound underneath, after an inspection confirms they are good candidates.
- Drainage and gutters – Drains, scuppers and commercial gutters sized for heavy rain.
- Maintenance programs – Scheduled inspections, drain and debris clearing, minor repairs and photo reports. See our commercial roof maintenance programs.
- Safety – Work is planned around occupants and customers, following our roofing safety practices.

Vonore Commercial Roofing FAQ
Do you take commercial roofing projects in Vonore?
Yes. We serve Vonore and the Tellico West industrial area from our Knoxville office, about 45 minutes away.
Which membrane holds up near resin or paint exhaust?
PVC often performs best where oils, resins or many chemicals reach the roof, but we review your exhaust and the building before recommending a system.
Can you work on a plant roof without stopping production?
Yes. We phase the work, protect the floor below, follow your site safety rules and close each section watertight at the end of the day.
Do you also serve Madisonville, Tellico Village and Maryville?
Yes. See our Maryville and Sweetwater commercial pages, and call about Madisonville, Tellico Village and other nearby areas.
Can my existing commercial roof be coated instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A coating can work when the roof is still sound and dry underneath. We inspect the roof first and tell you whether restoration or replacement makes more sense.
Is your phone answered after hours?
Yes. Our phone is answered 24/7 at (865) 338-7663. After a storm we help secure the roof with temporary repairs or tarping when it is safe, then plan the permanent repair.
Can you manage several buildings for one owner or property manager?
Yes. Multi-site clients can run every building through one office, with one phone number, one set of records and photo reports for each site. Existing clients can use our Client Portal.
Is financing available for a commercial roof?
Yes, financing is available for qualifying projects. Ask about it when you request a quote.
